MACOMB — Macomb community support bolstered this year’s West Central Illinois Art Center Friends and Members show art reception.About 40 artists were on display Friday at the center, located at 25 East Side Square.Kat Myers, professor of metalworking at Western Illinois University and a member of the gallery committee, spoke to the Voice about the reception.“It is the Friends and Members show, and it is basically an invitational show to local artists and artists who are members of the WCI Arts Center,” Myers said “So, anybody who is a member or who is from the area – friends or somebody that knows of us – they can submit work.”The large number of artists means that only one or two pieces of art work from each artist could be displayed in the gallery.Many pieces of artwork are available for purchase, and 30 percent of each sale goes to the gallery.The Friends and Members Exhibition began Aug. 8 and will continue through Sept. 16.This exhibition is open to the public.
